The Trapped Princess
The Red-robed Youth

"Why can't I get through it?" ara asked puzzled that only she was still inside the portal, while Arion and Gigas had set their feet on the royal ground, Ara felt that there was a transparent layer holding her back.

"What should we do, General?" gigas asked the General beside him. "Why is Ara stuck in there?"

Arion stared at Gigas intently as if giving a stern warning, "do you want to die?"

Gigas shuddered and immediately lowered his head, "Your own Majesty asked us to call him like that, why am I wrong?"

Arion breathed a rough breath and turned to look at the Princess who seemed trapped could not set foot in the kingdom, so he could not get out of the floating portal. "Your Majesty seems that since His Majesty does not activate energy, then this region detects His Majesty as a foreign object because His Majesty has absolutely no natural energy coming from this place, it will be difficult for His Majesty to force his way in."

Arion explained calmly, he continued with a slight sounding like persuasion. "Your Majesty can feel nausea, a prolonged headache until His Majesty's energy is drained away, but not if Your Majesty is willing to activate the pure energy that is within Your Majesty, it must be easy for His Majesty to set foot here."

Ara smiled, she looked at Arion with her blue eyes. "So according to the General, this realm rejected me because I sealed the Queen's energy in my body?"

Arion nodded steadily answering the Princess' question, "then will His Majesty activate the energy?"

Ara smiled and then she shook her head, "remember the requirements I have, General."

Ara let out a long sigh, "It seems like it won't be easy to become an ordinary person in this country, then leave me here for a while, I'll catch up with you after you've absorbed the natural energy."

"Your Majesty, it would be dangerous if we left you alone," Gigas looked worried. "Does His Majesty want me to stand guard here?"

Ara shook her head without hesitation, "thank you Gigas, but can you go and leave me alone? It seems that I need time to get to know my birthplace. I also want to find myself by doing it."

"I mean Your Majesty?" gigas asked confusedly.

"If I am the person you've been looking for all this time, then I should be able to easily absorb the natural energy that is here right?" Ara looked at the two alternately, "but if I'm the wrong person, then it's not too late for me to return."

Ara looked around which looked faint and was still filled with the darkness of night, she flicked her finger until a transparent bubble as if wrapping around her floating self. "Just calm down, no one will notice my presence here other than the two of you, so just go and please remember the terms that I've applied. Tomorrow when we meet again, I want you to meet the conditions that I made, tonight I consider as an exception because you still call me His Majesty, but tomorrow when we meet again and you still call me the same way, then I will immediately leave this place," said Ara staring intently at Arion and Gigas alternately.

Gigas looked down, he did not dare to answer for fear of receiving a rebuke from the General beside him. While Arion stared at Ara meaningfully, "then we retreat."

"The success of a leader is reflected in the people they lead, the nature of a superior is reflected in his subordinates," Ara fell silent after saying so.

The smile on his face now disappeared, he changed his position to sit cross-legged with both hands combined in front of the chest. The shadow of the young Isabel doing the same thing was drawn from the memory fragments in Ara, she began to breathe a long breath, closed both eyes and filled herself with silence until her entire senses sharpened, she said, focus on one point until dark and the void greets.

Suddenly his body felt tremendous pressure, as if his head and both shoulders were being hit by a huge and heavy stone. Ara looked exhausted, she started to fidget, sweat pouring from all over her body. He clenched his hands together and still tried to remove the invisible pressure until the tightness blocked his airway, making him breathless.

But nothing and there will never be a word give up in the dictionary of Ara's life, he continues to try to survive until a loud eruption is heard.

"DUUUAAAAAR!"

A huge eruption sound made a huge pressure that he had felt, now disappeared without a trace, replaced by the appearance of various colors of bright light. Isabel's memory tells her that the lights are natural energy that she must absorb immediately. Ara calmed down again and regulated her breathing, to her surprise when the light of various colors was sucked into her body without doing anything, and instantly made Ara's body float up into the sky. The body that had been empty now felt full of energy that felt very refreshing to Ara, her body shone brightly like a star in the night sky to break the layer of protective ball that she made, his skin turned firmer and smoother, his elongated hair changed color to golden brown, his eyes felt sharper so he could see the distance very clearly.

"Ah, it wouldn't be good if anyone saw!" Ara immediately dampened her energy and slowly tried to descend from the sky then set foot on the ground that had refused to be stepped on by her. At once Ara smiled satisfied to feel his feet treading, although very tired he felt but as if happiness will success that he can dominate.

"Did you also see a shooting star?"

Ara immediately hid when she heard the sound of a horse approaching, her heart racing with nervousness.

"Right Your Majesty, but we don't know for sure if we haven't checked it properly. I beg Your Majesty to be more careful."

Ara peeked out from behind her hideout, two luxurious robed men looked staring around, each riding on a gallant looking horse, each of them, unexpectedly, Ara's eyes could see both of them clearly without being disturbed by the darkness of the night, so he had to take a few steps back.

His heart was pounding, the red-robed young man had a face that was completely similar to his, while the blue-robed young man seemed to be emitting an extremely intense aura, it was obvious that the two were not random people.

"Either why do I feel that there is someone who feels foreign but has the same blood as me around here" said the red-robed young man.

Ara gasped, swiftly he again made a protector to eliminate the air of his existence, he did not want anyone to know of his existence as a princess.
